For the coin collector enthusiasts, a real rarity! 1805 U.S. 1 Cent "Draped Bust". Minted in Philadelphia from 1796 to 1807, designed and engraved by Robert Scot. Copper composition. Obverse features a profile of "Lady Liberty" with "Liberty" along the top rim and the year along the bottom. On the reverse, the denomination within a wreath with denomination as a fraction below, and "United States" around the rim. The coin itself IS worn, between Fair and About Good. Type/date and part of denomination are legible, and a fair amount of the lettering. Profile and wreaths show heavy wear. Nevertheless, a real collector's item even as is---these don't come along every day. Don't sleep on it. NOTE: coin is NOT graded for 100% NGC/PCGS accuracy.
